Re: Samaki Walker joins Travis Best

I have had 7 years of formal Russian and have been married to one for 11 years, who by the way teaches Russian 401/402 at IU. УНИКС is prounced uniks. For it to sound like eunuchs, it would have to be spelled ЮНИКС. Now, why they call their team that I have no idea. I think that it may be an acronym meaning Ural (the U) something Sports (the S) Club (The K). Or, maybe it means something in Tatar.
